Agentic AI for Lao-language banking
An agentic AI system designed around Lao-language interactions, with a public-facing banking assistant and an internal copilot for staff workflows.
We design custom AI systems and smart workflows for teams that want to scale - blending deep technical expertise with genuine care for your success.
Built by our team - at Hahlex and before.
Hahlex is a young studio. Several systems below were shipped by our engineers while inside Standard Chartered, Netradyne, and other operators. We name the client, name our role, and don't pretend the contract sat with us. The work is real either way.

At FoxAI, he built an agentic AI proof of concept for a confidential Lao bank - a Lao-language assistant for customers and an internal copilot for staff, with retrieval, tool use, and human-in-the-loop handoffs designed in from the start.
